>>"As a by-product those open market transactions will increase or decrease the quantity of reserves. Without any need for the Fed to even think about interest rates"

But changing the interest rate in the process.

You are implying that the TIPS spread is a better indicator of inflation that the interest rate. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. More important, doesn't make sense to the central bankers, because they target the interest rate not the TIPS spread.

Hey Jon, really enjoyed that writeup! It's a cool idea to plot out the journey you've been on with little summaries and links to the blogs and videos/talks/ideas that you were focused on at the time.

Cooler still that the beginning of the journey was a 12 startups in 12 months project. I'm actually in the middle of doing that as we speak, and am about to finish month one. Definitely feeling that "final 10% of effort seems to take as long as the previous 90%" thing currently ... kind of wondering whether I'll have something shippable or usable in the next two days. But even if I don't, next month is another chance to get it right and to build off of the things I've learned in month 1.

Anyway, I'll be interested to see more from you. If you're curious to check out my work I'm putting up weekly blog summaries here: https://startupinamonth.net. Definitely gonna start keeping track of what I'm reading and thinking about so I can do a similar overview post in a year or two :)

CP and violent credible threads hurt other people as much as mis-gendering does.

> Nobody is dying from mis-gendering

And nobody is dying from CP, what is your point?
Yes, I was talking about hasanabi's discord server (a twitch channel) in particular, but I'm sure it's not alone and there are reasons. I don't blame them at all, it's the system that sets these incentives.
Patterns may repeat. But everytime it is different.
That's a lot of 3rd parties (I assume there are also some ad platforms).

If you ever decide to replace some of those analytics platforms with a more private solution you can have a look over my project: https://usertrack.net/
> You know as well as I do that if you gather 250k people in one spot someone is going to say something that makes you look bad. That room was golden and the people that run it are awesome. We blocked all bad words with a bot, which should be enough, but apparently if someone can say a bad word with weird unicode icelandic characters and someone can screenshot it you don’t get to hang out with your friends anymore.

The mods were moderating. Discord didn't even try to claim otherwise. The group was just huge and things inevitably slipped past the mods now and then. That happens in every platform. It's not the server's fault.

Bottom line is Discord has the power to deal with the individual users but they chose to nuke the server instead. What a convenient decision.
Should be doable. Applications only recently have a need for custom queries due to BI rising, so I guess DBs aren't yet there.

BTW IMO most of BI type stuff could be solved by just allowing direct SQL, but for this DBs would need to be written without buffer overflow bugs etc.
I would love to have SQLite that has easy data-at-rest encryption amd that supports access control.

I have seen a few times now what happen when optimistic people goes with such rationale and attempt to apply it universally. To be more precise, people have tried to ban generalizations of group of people, banning the usage of gender where specifying gender is unnecessary, and of course banning the attacking people for who they were rather than attacking the argument. I have yet to see one community where it worked.

The outcome of such experiments always end up the same. People want to generalize about groups of people when its against the right group of people. We want to specifying gender when it is unnecessary, as long it not in the wrong situation. And we want to attacking people for who they were rather than attacking the argument, if its against people which is socially accepted to attack and dismiss.

People just love violence when its done for the right reasons and abhor it when it done for the wrong reasons. At the same time we try to apply principles like freedom of speech and find it completely incompatible with our split view on violence.
> We would however be interested in switching to JaaS as we’d like to get away from managing our own infra and just host a landing page through, e.g., NextJS on Vercel, with a JaaS iFrame.

This is indeed what we had in mind when building JaaS.

> We have some customisations on the front-end (custom kick messages, auto-enabling lobbies, etc). Is it possible to make these sorts of customisations to JaaS?

Depends on exactly what. As we just launched we are learning what our customers want and adding new APIs and more customization options pretty rapidly. Please get in touch and let's discuss what APIs / customizations you'd need.

> Could you speak generally to the degree of customisation possible outside of the developer web console?

As you mentioned before, the iframe API is indeed the recommended way for integrating.
I don't think that great analysis and random paranoia have to be disconnected. But given how humans treat money, goods, and jobs it's highly likely that some combination of those humans will do everything they can to maintain the specifics of this status quo.

> ...it's never been illegal to encode or encrypt mail or other private papers or communications

In what country? France, for example, used to restrict the use of strong encryption. Example summary: http://www.opengroup.org/security/meetings/apr98/French-Encr...
As far as I understood, the problem stems from the Crypto AG era. Governments are addicted to be able to listen to communications of everyone and don't want to lose their toys.

Also, EU is far more advanced in terms of invisible security so, they don't want to lose the tools which enable them to do it.

We need to re-think security and people are lazy about it because, it's hard.

Just because there existed phones with much better cameras does not change the fact that almost everybody had a phone that had shit camera that was barely usable.

Today it would be inconceivable to create a flagship phone without matching bleeding edge camera, but at that time, it was true (regardless of the fact that there were some phones with good cameras) that most people did not use phones for photography on a daily basis.

This means there was no immediate expectation the phone will have best camera.

I just went through the original unveiling of the iPhone and the focus is completely on UI and form factor and there is very, very, very little about the camera (basically, yes, it has a camera).
Super weird.

Anyone has community guidelines, i could write on my wall with a crayon "we get pissed at the pub on tuesday' and call that community guideline. It does not convey moral rights or place you above criticism

What is that statement meant to convey?
It was quite a long time ago (~30 years) but I suspect a lot of it was simply because senior academics didn't realise they were actually managers, had no interest in managing or even understand that there were problems.
In one of the books it's mentioned that simulations have moral component.

If you simulate conscious entities at the level of detail that Culture AIs are capable of you create sentient virtual beings and you can't just shut down the simulation without being responsible of "murdering" sentient beings.

So if the minds simulate alternate universes in infinite fun space I think they are purely mathematical universes devoid of sentient life to make the whole thing less contentious and purely fun.
> Arguments to the contrary seem to be an attempt to avoid responsibility.

Avoid responsibility? For what?

I had a high school teacher who used my IQ test results to justify my 'old soul' status enough to sexually assault me. As a working class person, most of my friends did not finish highschool or go to college and I did but I hated the people there. My father skipped to grades and got a full scholarship to the University of Toronto quit and joined the Hells Angels and died at 40. I found my groove (my partner is a finnish physicist) but the ability to read and think fast in the context of female and working class can be hell - at least in one's youth.

Super valid point. I've been a frontend dev for a while and I'm comfortable with HTML and CSS but I can definitely imagine switching to something else. The sunk-cost fallacy thing is real, though.

But the complexity arises from wanting to make apps with something meant for simple documents. That being said, even building the simplest website nowadays requires a mind-boggling knowledge of the idiosyncrasies of the "languages".

I wasn't talking about a "free speech platform", I just think that moderation should be transparent, and that users should be able to view content deleted/hidden by moderators if they wish.

Many times I've read a discussion about someone being fired for a social media post. Some people will defend them, some people will say the reaction was justified. And I can't make up my own mind, because that post was swiftly deleted by moderators and now everyone's just acting on their own memory of the post.

Isn't "encrypted mail" an oxymoron ?
It reads like a rationalization for being mediocre to me, to be honest. The definition of genius by "impact on society" is obviously wrong. And it's easy to selectively quote people who have something bad to say about a person to make them seem like awful people. Also doesn't seem rigorous: are ALL geniuses awful persons? That seems very unlikely. Especially as there may be geniuses in the field of being "good people".
Why is the solution always to either shut something down or to regulate? Why is educating people to act more responsibly never ever considered an option?
Possibly. Context is fuzzy when nesting comments like this.
> Black boxes

There are a few black boxes most people are very happy not to peek into; Having these black boxes is a huge productivity win:

* Compilers

* Garbage Collection

* OS Kernels

* File systems

* Docker

* App Stores / package managers

* Infrastructure as code frameworks (i.e. terraform)

* JS Frontend frameworks

I think there's three things at work here: 1. Familarity with treating item X as a black box (High for compilers, low for infrastructure as code). 2. Maturity of the interfaces (High for compilers, low for infrastructure as code). 3. Relevance of the details for your use case / business context.

> Having a number of simpler functionalities that you're free to compose any way you like is for me preferred approach anytime. Most of the things that you mention can be solved with fairly simple wrapper libs doing just one thing

I totally agree: That's how I imagine how the magic functions are defined.

> Black boxes with tons of magic are great if you need to do exactly that one thing that creators had in mind.

This totally depends what your business context is. For most companies, dealing with CORS in HTTP requests is very far from their business domain. Still, developers spend a lot of time configuring and building endpoints, API clients, etc. at a low level of abstraction.
Seems that Facebook has reinvented censorship based on indecency. It's scary that they are actually more oppressive than the FCC was:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_dirty_words
> The argument that centralization is need for discoverability is pretty shallow. Good federation does the same thing.

I think this completely misses Daniel's point. He's not talking about centralization.

Discovery is based on network effect and network effect alone: that can be present in a centralized / federated / decentralized system; the only question is which of these systems currently owns the network effect.

In this case, it's inarguably Github.

One could argue that curl has a bit enough following that they "use their influence for good" that's a different prerogative based question.

> But agreeing on a platform takes longer, so might as well build up some alternatives now.

Alternatives are easy to find, and perhaps more importantly, they come and go. If you're not planning on migrating immediately, looking at the current set of alternatives is a waste of time; they may change.

Many of the restrictions are repeated. For example the first character must be a lowercase letter or an uppercase letter or a number, but the only characters you can use are lowercase letter or an uppercase letter or a number. It looks like an auto generated list of restrictions. They must put a human somewhere to rewrite them instead of letting whatever framework they are using write the text.

> Password can contain 10 repetition

A weird decision.

About the use of special characters, I agree that they increase security but it may be a nightmare for support. Some moron^W user will use a weird character, here in Argentina áñ¿¡ and move to another keyboard and not been able to find it or the browser may have a different encoding. Usual special characters like !"#$%&/()= are probably fine. Or perhaps they have an on-screen keyboard?

In Italy our representatives negotiates the prices of the important drugs with the pharmaceutical industry, and they have little or no cost for the individual. There are always some very annoying exceptions, of course, but that's the general rule. We all take it for granted and demand it, doesn't matter the political orientation. I think your representatives are not doing a good job (not that ours are better, eh;), and makes me wonder what you vote for, if not for this basic things.

> Very few people care about what you are talking about.

No, very few people care about the ethical implications of what OP 's talking about. But it's pretty hard to not start caring when you become a casualty. OP is saying that if there's enough casualties, maybe it will be the catalyst for a movement.

You don't even need a majority to care. You just need enough people who can't use or refuse to use a particular platform to trigger a mass exodus.

I think it's optimistic that we'll see that with many of the huge, well-established platforms like Facebook or Twitter. But this at least presents an opportunity to get some competing platforms off the ground.
Things that were problems have been getting banned. Nothing has changed, except it's a little more extreme right wing platforms now. That always generates a lot of noise, because they are loud people.
There was a note on the first startup tab for me, with a lonk to this ticket: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5359
The issue is that "the EU" is not a homogenous block and so the parliament and/or commission can be against this.
In this scenario it's national governments working trough the EU so some will call that EU and others not.

These same differences are a thing in other very important scenarios like during the Greek financial crisis where a lot of people in parliament or the commission might've seen that the short term pain is what needed to happen or even before that urged to get a banking union but the ECB is dominated by it's national counterparts who all tried to lose the least and thus lose more as a whole.
Which can make it all seem very schizophrenic and makes it so you can claim it's good or bad depending on which voices to listen to. At the end of the day tho it's mostly the national governments that held the rains there but here the parliament can simply block this.
